Guys
Struggling to line up the four Allen bolts through the two front diff mounting brackets on the griff. Have three in but the passenger side lower is out by half the hole.

Any decent pics out there of the brackets fitted? The brackets are obviously different sizes so I have the smaller bracket on the driver side and the longer bracket on the passenger side. Looking at the geometry the longest edge on both brackets lgoes towards the top fitting on the diff, IYSWIM. Does this sound right?

Cheers

I'm afraid I don't recall which side has the longer bracket and I don't have any particularly good pictures. What I do know is that I had to loosen the mountings at the outer end of the brackets to allow the brackets to move, I may also have used a trolley jack to raise/lower the nose of the diff until it was in the right place.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks mate - I can tell from those pics I have the brackets the right way around so it just a case of jacking and jigging to line it up. Might get to drive it soon!
